Troubleshooting
Tool not heating up
Check if the tool is properly plugged in and if the power outlet is functioning. Ensure the temperature setting is not on the 'cool' setting (if applicable) and that the thermal cut-out has not been activated. Allow the tool to cool down if the thermal cut-out was triggered.
Weak airflow
Ensure the air intake vents are not blocked. Check if a nozzle is installed and if it's causing a restriction. Clean any debris from the vents.
Overheating protection activates frequently
Make sure the air vents are clear and the tool is not being used in an environment that restricts airflow. Ensure you are using the appropriate temperature setting for the task and not running it on maximum for unnecessarily long periods.
Tool making unusual noises
Turn off the tool immediately and inspect the fan area for any obstructions. If the noise persists after clearing any debris, contact customer support.
